Bart. He was born March 26th, 1830, and was the son of Sir John Boileau,
F.R.S., who was created first baronet in 1838, and died in 1869. Sir
Francis was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and was called to
the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1855. He took a prominent position in public
life, and in the administration of county business; and was president of
the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society and of the Norfolk and
Norwich Naturalists' Society. On the formation of the Norwich Light
Horse he held a commission in the corps, and subsequently transferred his
services to the 3rd Volunteer Battalion Norfolk Regiment, of which he was
for several years lieutenant-colonel. In politics Sir Francis Boileau
was formerly a Liberal, but he became strongly Unionist, and one of his
last acts was to write, on behalf of the Unionists of South Norfolk, an
address presented to Mr. Edward Mann for his services to the party at the
General Election.

formerly a well-known breeder of cattle, and a successful exhibitor at
the Smithfield Club and other shows. In the days of his prosperity he
dispensed unbounded hospitality at the Hall Farm; in after years he
experienced severe reverses and lived in retirement in the locality where
he had once held so prominent a position.
